Went for a drive and still some noise I think. I also heard it ping, up a hill at 2000rpm in top at 3/4 throttle. I'll have to investigate the gasket and will certainly look at the rares ones thanks Brett.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
I couldn't put up with the deafening sound of crickets on here any longer. Ive decided the noise I thought sounded like rockers is a slight exhaust leak between the head face and manifold.
